If a position-dependent force $F(x) = (3x^2 - 2x + 7) \text{ N}$ acting on a body of mass $2 \text{ kg}$ displaces it from $x = 0 \text{ m}$ to $x = 5 \text{ m}$,then the work done by the force is: (in $J$)

$A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. $A$ horizontal force $\overrightarrow{F} = (9 - x^2) \hat{i} \ N$ acts on it, starting from $x = 0$. The maximum kinetic energy of the block between $x = 0$ and $x = 3 \ m$ in joules is:

$A$ particle moves from $x = 0$ to $x = x_1$ under the influence of a force $F = Cx$. Find the work done in this process.

When a rubber band is stretched by a distance $x$,it exerts a restoring force $F = ax + bx^2$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants. The work done in stretching the rubber band by a distance $L$ from its unstretched position is:

The force on a particle as a function of displacement $x$ (in $x$-direction) is given by $F = 10 + 0.5x$. The work done corresponding to the displacement of the particle from $x = 0$ to $x = 2$ units is:
